Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 127 - 124: Coughing Up Blood From Anger

Seriously, everyone was waiting for news about those three songs, but what they got instead was a pair of "Big Pendulums." It really felt like something had just gatecrashed the party.

The crucial part was that this gatecrasher was named Yinyin.

The biggest reason this whole affair blew up was that Li Yueling had reported Second-Life Star’s videos for being too suggestive. She specifically targeted Jiang Xiaobai’s two videos and Yinyin’s Shaking Bear Dance, which was practically grinding on the censors’ guidelines.

So, Yinyin was a victim in this incident. Her sudden appearance immediately drew a lot of attention.

The key was her incredibly eye-catching title: ’Go ahead and report me, you big-shot celebrity. My assets are bigger than your A-cups anyway!’

Wasn’t that basically calling out Li Yueling by name?

And the thing is, Li Yueling really *was* flat-chested!

Tons of people immediately clicked on Yinyin’s new video and saw the "Big Pendulum" dance.

The way the girl’s graceful dance moves made the "big pendulum" surge, sway, and tremble... the visuals were simply stunning. It was instantly eye-catching and subconsciously made everyone think of Li Yueling’s remarkable flatness.

The pervs who had been annoyed by Li Yueling’s reporting seemed to have found their new headquarters. They flocked to like and follow the video, offering words of comfort:

"You’ve got real assets, sis! Li Yueling is just jealous of you!"

"Well done, sis! You’ve definitely got more assets than Li Yueling!"

"..."

At first, the comments were pretty standard, but at some point, they became incredibly uniform.

"Li Yueling: Low damage, max humiliation."

"Li Yueling: Low damage, max humiliation."

"Li Yueling: Low damage, max humiliation."

"..."

Comments like this flooded in like a tidal wave.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Chen Jincheng. He hadn’t directed anyone to do this; it was all a spontaneous reaction from the netizens.

Many people online were already unhappy with Li Yueling’s meddling and had even gotten into flame wars with her fans.

Now, it was as if all those pervs were using this to vent. Seeing this girl Yinyin insult Li Yueling so brazenly, they went through the whole routine: like, follow, comment.

「Second-Life Star」

After uploading the video, Yinyin kept a close eye on its performance. Naturally, she saw the likes, comments, and follows skyrocketing.

The speed made her smile bloom. At this rate, she could really break five million followers with this one video.

In just a short time, Yinyin’s video had become a trending topic.

And as time went on, the topic only got hotter.

「Ah Hao Media」

Lin Hao had naturally been paying close attention to the Li Yueling situation all day. Because of her reports, his own influencer, Qianqian, was also a victim—her Shaking Bear Dance had been banned too.

She had gotten famous through the Shaking Bear Dance and Lin Hao pouring money into Dou+ promotions.

’Interesting. Lao Cheng really knows how to generate hype,’ Lin Hao thought. ’Sending that girl Yinyin out to taunt Li Yueling before the main battle, and it even drums up a ton of popularity for her.’ He naturally saw through Chen Jincheng’s goal. This trending topic would absolutely infuriate Li Yueling.

With that in mind, he decided to join the fun. He quickly called Qianqian over, planning to have her post a video too, showing off her "assets" and piling on the humiliation for Li Yueling.

As one of Tiao Yin’s "three great pendulums," she was sure to attract a lot of attention as well.

Qianqian arrived quickly, sounding a bit resentful. "Boss, so you do still call me. I was starting to think you only had eyes for that teacher now!"

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced outside at the sweet-looking teacher who was diligently studying Chinese characters with a dictionary.

"What’s there to be jealous about? I’ll have you spend the night too!" Lin Hao said immediately. The girl’s pretty face lit up, and her attitude shifted in an instant. "Your orders, Boss?"

Lin Hao said at once, "Go shoot a video showing off your assets. Ride the coattails of Yinyin’s trending topic mocking Li Yueling. I’ll pump money into Dou+ for you and get you a wave of traffic."

"Thank you, Boss!" Qianqian was overjoyed. She was about to rush out to shoot the video, but she suddenly stopped at the door. "Boss, did you just say you’d have *me* spend the night too?"

"Yeah, you and Teacher San Shang together!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Huh????" Qianqian was stunned.

It wasn’t just Lin Hao; many other influencers also saw an opportunity to ride the trend.

So many people had jumped on the Shaking Bear Dance bandwagon before, so why wouldn’t they do the same for a topic this hot?

The influencers who had previously filmed the Shaking Bear Dance only to have their videos blanket-banned by Tiao Yin saw this trend and, just like Lin Hao, immediately joined the army of people mocking Li Yueling. They posted their own asset-showing videos, all with the same title: ’Go ahead and report me, you big-shot celebrity. My assets are bigger than your A-cups anyway!’

The more people who jumped on the bandwagon, the hotter the topic became, which made even more people want to join in. Then, the D-cup girls started entering the fray.

After that, a dumbfounding scene unfolded: even C-cup girls started joining in.

It spread like a malignant tumor, quickly becoming unstoppable.

By nightfall, a baffling new topic had appeared on the trending list.

1. "I am just older than you!"

Even Chen Jincheng was stunned as he watched this topic soar to the number one spot. Although he had started the hype, this was truly beyond his expectations.

Fucking hell, even girls who were only B-cups were bravely mocking Li Yueling’s A-cups just to get in on the trend.

This was...

Sister Hong sighed with emotion. "Now, anyone who doesn’t know the full story will really think Li Yueling reported Yinyin’s Shaking Bear Dance out of jealousy over her large chest. Li Yueling is probably going to be furious."

"But it’s all thanks to your foresight, Boss. The role of clipping teams like Yijin is becoming more and more important. If it weren’t for the clips they made, Yinyin’s topic wouldn’t have made it onto the trending list so easily, let alone have so many influencers jump on it and push the popularity to this level."

"Mhm!" Chen Jincheng nodded.

Clipping teams and influencers were mutually beneficial. In this case, for example, Yijin’s people could help him generate hype to get Yinyin onto the trending list and also annoy Li Yueling. At the same time, the videos Yijin edited would also get a lot of traffic and attention.

Plus, with this level of popularity, it was a sure thing that Yinyin would break the five-million-follower mark.

...

「Elsewhere」

「Shen City」

In the underground parking garage of a Five Stars hotel, Li Yueling staggered toward her van. After getting in, she leaned back against the seat and disgustedly pulled off her stockings, which now had two holes in them. "Just a pig with a brain full of greasy guts. He has a few drinks and gets all handsy, thinking a homepage ad placement is enough to get into my pants. What a piece of trash."

"Sis, did you get the ad placement?" her younger sister asked.

Li Yueling snapped irritably at her sister, "I let him grope my thigh for ages, and he even poked two holes in my stockings. If he hadn’t finally given in, I would’ve poured my drink over his head, even if he is the director of Penguin Music."

"That’s good. With this homepage ad placement from Penguin Music, your song will blow up the instant it’s uploaded tomorrow." After taking the contract, her sister told the driver to go.

Li Yueling, however, took out her phone. She wanted to log into Tiao Yin and check the popularity of her song "Must Love."

But the moment she opened Tiao Yin, her brow furrowed.

For some inexplicable reason, comments saying "Li Yueling: Low damage, max humiliation" were appearing under her video.

The crucial thing was that there were over ten instances of this comment with "9999+" replies, meaning there were hundreds of thousands of them.

’What is going on?’

Li Yueling was baffled. She followed a link and saw the number one topic on the trending list: "I am just older than you."

"How did a new topic just drop into the number one spot? What the hell is ’I am just older than you’? And people are even sending me links to it." With a look of utter confusion, Li Yueling clicked on it.

Her sister in the front seat instinctively tried to warn her, but it was too late.

The moment she opened the trending topic, Li Yueling was met with a dense wall of videos, and her expression changed instantly.

She couldn’t believe her eyes. All the videos under this topic were mocking her.

After watching a few videos, her face turned ashen. "Damn it! That Yinyin is spouting absolute nonsense! I’m a celebrity! Why would I need to be jealous of some internet influencer?"

But the more she said it, the angrier she got watching all those influencers jumping on the bandwagon to show off their "assets" and mock her.

Because she really *was* an A-cup.

Worse, netizens who didn’t know the full story actually believed these people and thought she had reported Yinyin’s Shaking Bear Dance because she was jealous of her big chest.

It was a complete distortion of the truth.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! It must be that Chen Jincheng’s doing!" Li Yueling screamed three times, practically exploding with rage. But she could only clench her fists, her nails digging into her palms, with no outlet for her fury.

She was grinding her teeth so hard she felt like they would shatter.

Her sister quickly reminded her, "Sis, don’t let them get to you. The most important thing right now is releasing your song tomorrow. Crushing them with the numbers is what matters."

"You’re right, but I can’t just take this lying down." Li Yueling fiercely took out her phone and, seething with anger, recorded a Tiao Yin video of herself. "Stop playing these disgusting tricks! If you think this can get me angry, you’re too naive. I’m not angry at all!"

"If you have any guts, release your song tomorrow and let the numbers do the talking. Relying on disgusting tricks like this just shows you’re scared and have no chance of winning. But that makes sense. If a star like me were to lose to some internet influencer, I’d just quit the business and go home."

Li Yueling’s words were tantamount to calling them out by name with a taunt.

Moreover, she did indeed feel more confident. Just as she’d said, her opponent was clearly scared and felt they had no chance of winning, which was why they resorted to such tactics.

Her opponent definitely didn’t know that she had also secured the homepage recommendation from Penguin Music. With that promotion, her song would take the lead with an absolute advantage the moment it was released.
